Cambridge Vice-Chancellor Stephen Toope has been photographed crossing a picket line this morning, with members of staff at the picket, including Dr Augusta McMahon and Martin Lucas-Smith MA, tweeting about the event.

After rumours grew of his visit to The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge for a speech at 12.20 today, a picket line was established at the entrance, with many picketers carrying placards and leaflets awaiting his appearance. Toope arrived with a colleague just after 12.00, and was handed a leaflet after 'smil[ing]' at picketers, before entering the building.

TCS has contacted the University Communications team, as well as Dr McMahon and Lucas-Smith, for comment.
